Clark Gable

I was waiting for a cross-town train

In the London underground when it struck me

That I've been waiting since birth to find a love

That would look and sound like a movie

So I changed my plans, I rented a camera

And a van and then I called you

"I need you to pretend that we are in love again"

And you agreed to

I want so badly to believe that

There is truth, that love is real

And I want life in every word

To the extent that it's absurd

I greased the lens and framed the shot

Using a friend as my stand-in

The script it called for rain

But it was clear that day so we faked it

The marker snapped and I yelled

"Quiet on the set" and then called "Action"

And I kissed you in a style

That Clark Gable would have admired

(I thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that

There is truth, that love is real

And I want life in every word

To the extent that it's absurd

I know you're wise beyond your years

But do you ever get the feel that

Your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself

To help you get by?
